Diva cup leaks after childbirth

Hi all,

Before I had a child, I used a Diva cup and it was fantastic - it never leaked, not even when I did yoga with it in.

After I had a child, the thing leaks all the time. I even switched to the post-childbirth size and I still have problems with it. I have had better luck when I wear it as low as possible, but there's no way to get it any lower without having it stick out!
It's really, really frustrating, because I have to wear a pad with it because it leaks so much.

I have even switched from the C fold to the punch-down, because I can ensure that it's opening up all the way after insertion.


Any other tips?
I really miss being able to rely on my cup.
